erstanding that a
substitution be made at the next meet-
ing1. This article reads: "The Associa-
tion does not allow its members to use
fermented beverages on the campus
' except for medicinal purposes/'
The meeting was called and presided
over by O. Stokes, '30, president of the
association. In receipt of a letter from
Dr. Wagoner, � Associate Physician of
the College, the Association was forced
to take sonic action on the specific res-
olution cited above. Apparently Miss
Park had written to the infirmary, at
the request of the Self-Government As-
sociation Board, to find out the official
opinion of "fermented beverages" for
medicinal purposes. The reply stated
in no indefinite terms that the infirm-
ary administration was not in favor of
the last clause of the resolution, as it
does not believe in the beneficial possi-
bilities of alcohol. Consequently, it
was very obvious that the resolution
could not be allowed to stand as it has
for soNmany years. . t-
The meeting was opened by a mo-
tion to change the clause to read: "The
Association does not allow its mem-
bers to use fermented beverages on the
campus." Then th� discussion began;
a good deal of it was irrelevant, and
a good deal of it was non-constructive;
it served chiefly to demonstrate.,. the
fact that the feeling on this subject in
the college is very strong. The gen-
eral tendency of the stand taken by the
opposition was that alcoholic bever-
ages had always proved to be of
medicinal value, and that trrey were
coniRjetely unwilling to pass a dictum
which would prevent their usage; any
ruling which would permit its use in
exceptional cases would have to pass

this attitude was a strong feeling
against the control in the college by a
student ruling of what, up to now, had
been. a personal privilege. It was a
stand Jaken distinctly for liberty and
the rights of the individual. Points
saying that the infirmary would next
attempt to limit the individual's ciga-

letter of the infirmary. They strongly
advocated Dr. Wagoner's prescriptions
for all ailments otherwise Helped with
"fermented beverages," and they felt
that the rule of no alcohol on the
campus was a good one. It would pre-
. vent the stretching of privileges, and
it would avoid much unnecessary com-
plication.
The vote was finally taken, with a
count of 70 to 74 against the motion.
The next idea advanced in the form of
a motion was Jjhat the troublesome
clause be struck completely from the
book of resolutions. This was passed
with a slightly higher majority, on the
understanding that a new resolution be
substituted for the one which was now
to be omitted from the book. Two sug-.
gestions were made for the new clause;
one that it read, "The Prohibition Law
of the United States will be enforced
on the campus," the other, that the
clause reading "Students staying more
than twenty-five miles away from
Philadelphia shall be responsible for
not bringing criticism on the college for
their conduct," be amended to apply to
the campus and area within the twenty-
five mile limit as well as that without.
It was felt that this latter would
suffice to cover any cases which might
occur in the misuse of alcoholic bev-
erages.
The meeting was adjourned until
further notice, when it is hoped_^ that
the old clause may be replaced by one
. which will answer all- requirements,
which will not be objectionable in the
eyes of-^the college , infirmary,, and
which will, nevertheless, express the
-will of the students of Bryn Mawr.
In Chapel Thursday, October 31,
Miss .Elizabeth Wilson related to the
college the events of a Junior Year
abroad. Miss Carey prefaced the talk
with an apt quotation.
"When Miss Schehck told us we
were to speak, we thought it quite a
nice joke," Miss Wilson began, "but it
ceased to be funny, for the idea of say-
ing all there was to be said in public
was a little overwhelming; it is'dfffcult
to touch upon all the salient points in
ten minutes."
The plan itself is that the students
of Bryn Mawr become a part of the
Delaware group, made up of students-
from many of the colleges, all under
the supervision of the University of
Delaware. The &roup leaves in the
middle of July; they spend a week ih
Paris and then at Nancy they join a
summer course in conversational
French, the result being that "at least
we can ask for what is vital," and
"we've gotten over the awful stage
fright. Our inhibitions vanish on our
return to Paris; the bright spot about
Nancy is going away." The only summer
vacation is a week in the Alps; if you
want to travel by yourself, you can do
so provided you have a letter of con-
sent from your family; it is easier to
travel in twos than in sixties. Nancy
has some good points after all, for the
group does take some expeditions.
Three months in Nancy make you
appreciate the eight months in Paris.
You reach Paris about October 8, and
are put, two or three together, in pri-
vate families, situated for the most part
in the "fascinating old quarter" on the
left bank of the Seine. Everyone
knows that Paris has lovely shops, es-
pecially the book-shops, where they are
very nice about allowing you to poke
around. It is impossible to tell you all
q thing* you -should see and do, but
eight months gives you a chance to see
Pans aT leisure." The group goes in a
body to all the important places, and
the advantage in going with the group
is that they have special invitations.
Provision was made for the theatre
and the opera; the group was given
tickets on certain nights, but later "they
decided to have a fund for tickets;

Varsity Defeats Drexel
On Monday, November 4, Varsity
overwhelmed Drexel Institute, 10-0, in
a game which was called on account
of rain and darkness. Before the final
wetdown, the field was in slippery con-
dition, and the struggle to maintain
equilibrium took most of the players'
atention. The playing was slow and
disorganized, as was inevitable, con-
sidering the state of the weather. Vars-
ity's line-up was slightly changed, the
only new player being Stix, who went
in as center forward.f�he line-up was:

Sunday League Service
Led by Rev. Earp
Strength in Difficulties to Be
Found in Searching God's
Will.
FAITH MUST SHAPE LIV^S
The service of the Bryn Mawr
League on Sunday, November 3, in
Goodhart Hall was conducted by Rev.
Ernest C. Earp, rector of the Church
of the Redeemer, Bryn Mawr. Rev.
Earp took for his text "Jesus said.
When ye pray say 'Thy will be done,'"
and urged that we consider the words
of Jesus as dynamic and challenging.
Too often we lose their full significance
by associating them with resignation
and blind surrender to the superior will
of God. We are apt to feel that we
have no choice in the ordering of our
experiences. We have written this
submission into our hymns and read
it into the Scriptures. When Christ's
prayer for deliverance in Getheseniane
ends with "Thy will be done," He is
not redufed to accepting a fate imposed
upon him, as is proved by his glorious
victory; He is rather rising above His
circumstances and controlling them.
The will Of God is not only to be
endured, it is to be, done, and the
doing consists in working as co-part-
ners with Him by blending our wills
with His. We have overstressed our
struggle with the ills of life, and have
considered it one-sided and unjust. We
should turn . from our complaints and
rise to our God-given heritage by
searching out God's will. Only thus
do we find the strength for the stress
of life which His spirit breathes into
us.
We have also interpreted "Thy will
be done" as a lauding of humility and
groveling in the dust. But Jesus was
an inspiration to new Conceptions of
life and self-realization. The <loing of
God's will leads us, not to become
meek, but to make great ventures and
meet with our inevitable victory in His
strength.
There is increasingly great power
given us as we learn the will of God.
Niagara Falls were wearing away their
canyon before the first axe was lifted,
and only in the past generation have
men learned to apply their mighty
strength. There is just such a force in
us, but how shall we bring its powerjn-^
to our lives? We must learn to trust as
guides our God-given instincts-and as-
pirations, even when we are tempted
to ovej-emphasize realism.
Much that we attribute to God does
not belong to Him, ajid we are at fault
in laying our particular difficulties to
Him. The circumstances of our lives
do not determine them; life indeed has
no character until we give it one. As
Lincoln bent circumstances to his
measure, so our wills must mould our
setting. Our question is, "What will
the response of my God-gi.ven capacity

New Tea Program
_______
The "Housewarming" te\ Thursday,
October 17. in Radnor Hall, marked
the beginning of the custom among the
graduates of Thursday Hall teas, to
which the faculty of the college i and
friends of the graduate students have
been invited informally. According to
Dean Schenck such teas are to take
the place of faculty teas of former
years. Groups of the faculty will be
asked to receive and will be assisted by
the graduate members of their depart-
ment. Undergraduate students taking
special honors work in the departments
are also to be invited. The various
graduate groups may invite speakers in
their field to give short informal lec-
tures on the date of their tea at 5 or
5.30 o'clock* Such speakers would, of
coilrse, be announced in advance.
It is also planned to have at least six
language teas before the Christmas
holidays, to which all members of the
college community who speak either

Varsity Has Off Day
in Germantown Gan*
Varsity went down in defeat for the
third time this season in the game with
Gerinantown Cricket Club on Satur-
day, November 2. The score, 8-2, is
a fair indication of the looseness and
ineffectiveness of Varsity's playing.
The line-up of the first half was little
different from that oJ last week. Crane
as inner being the only novelty. Vars-
ity as a whole suffered a marked slump
and played slowly and futilely. Even
the backs, who have been the main-
stay of the team for the past two
weeks, had an off day and were less
successful than usual in holding their
opponents. The forwards, with the ex-
ception of occasional spurts, were uni-
nspiring and uncontrolled in their
game, and they played without too
careful regard for their positions. The
hits of bpfh backs and forwards were
invariably an asset to Germantown.
The bright moments were painfully-
far apart, and the whole contest lacked
color.
The second half saw radical changes
in Varsity's line-up and a great im-
provement in the quality of the play.
Longacre and Blanchard shifted so
that the speed of one and the hard
shots of the other would be more use-
ful. Crane and Longstreth shifted
twice, and Remington went in for
Collier, while Collier took Ullom's
place on the right. Varsity recovered
some of its speed and pluck of last
week, the Blanchard-Longacrc combi-
nation proving-the brightest spot as
ye"t discovered among the forwards.
The speed, dodging and directed pass-
ing of the two put life into the game,
although their tendency to play on top
of each other was regrettable. The
quickness of Remington and^the clean-
er playing of the backs in general
added tone to the second half in spite
of an even greater spurt by �German-
town which more than doubled their
score.
We can only-fiopr~t hat Varsity's off
days may be few and that future games
will fulfill the promise that Bryn Mawr
showed last week. The line-up was:

French or German rather fluently are
invited. The German teas began Mon-
day, November 4, with Dr. and Mrs.
Max Diez receiving. The dates of
the next two teas have been announced
for November 18, Dr. and Mrs. Metz-
ger receiving, and December 2." with
Mrs. Jessen and Miss Staadt as spe-
cial hostesses. The French Depart-
ment will have charge of the teas
gjyen November 5 and 26 and Decem-
ber 17.
November 14, President Park, Dean
Schenck and the members of the grad-
uate committee, Dr. and Mrs. De
I^aguna, have been asked to receive at
the Thursday Hall tea of that week.
This will probably be President
Park's last appearance in the college
thi> year.
The Private Lives
of the Graduates
Miss Schenck Outlines- the Back-
ground and Future of
Her Crew.
FULL-GROWN FROM JOVE
Chapel on Tuesday, October 29, was
devoted to an interpretation of gradu-
ate statistics by Miss Schenck. She
opened her speech by an explanation ef
the relation of the four years of Ameri-
can collegiate studies to the more spe-
cialized foreign universities. Since
Bryn Mawr contains in its graduate
school the elements, which form the es-
sentials in many of the old provincial
universities of Europe, namely facul-
ties of sciences any of laws, Bryn
Mawr may rightly be called a univer-
sity college.
The Graduate school this year con-
tains 61 full-time students and 41 part-
time students who are also instructors,
readers, wardens or teachers at the
Thfcrne School. Of these 102 gradu-
ate students fifty-nine are living in
Radnor. Their geographical distribu-
tion is very wi"de, representing twenty-
two States in the United States and
eight foreign countries. Pennsylvania
has the largest co'ntigent with thirty-
one students and New York follows
with 14. There are seven each from
Massachusetts and New Jersey, five
from Ohio, three each from California,
Illinois and Maryland, two each from
Virginia, Indiana, Nebraska, Connecti-
cut and North Carolina, and one from
Washington, Oregon, Florida, Michi-
gan, Texas, Maine, Colorado, Kansas
and Iowa. The foreign countries rep-
resented are .Canada and Switzerland
with two students each, and England,
Scotland, France, Germany, Austria
and Holland with one apiece.
This group of students contains .
products of fifty-eight different colleges-
or universities, including the colleges
from which the M. A. degree was re-
ceived. Of the ninety-four students
holding A. B. or B. S. degrees,.thirty- �
eight already hold an M. A. or M. S.

Alumnae Reception
A reception in honor of the presi-

alumnae associations of the six lead-
ing women's colleges was held at the
home of President Park, Tuesday eve-
ning, October 29. Since the reception
was primarily in honor of the
alumnae of the other five colleges, who
comprise a rather large group, the
Bryn Mawr alumnae were not invited.
Graduate guests from Radnor, who are
also alumnae of Mount Holyoke, Wel-
lesley, Smith, Vassar and Radcliffe,
were as follows: (
